Inside LeverGolf – Episode 9   Posture Myth: Posture Police, Prison Numbers In this episode of Inside LeverGolf, Jim Ferreri goes after one of the most over-policed parts of the golf swing — posture.

Inside LeverGolf – Episode 8   The Hips Myth: Spin to Win? Think Again. In this episode of Inside LeverGolf, Jim Ferreri takes on one of the most aggressively taught ideas in modern golf — “clear the hips” and “spin to win.” Golfers are told that more hip speed equals more power.

Inside LeverGolf – Episode 5   The Distance Myth: More Greed for Speed In this episode of Inside LeverGolf, Jim Ferreri tackles one of the most seductive beliefs in modern golf — the idea that more speed automatically means more distance.

In this episode of Inside LeverGolf, Jim Ferreri takes dead aim at one of the most repeated instructions in golf: the one-piece takeaway.   It sounds simple. It sounds clean.
